McIlroy bounces back to share BMW Championship lead
Rory McIlroy fires an impressive six-under-par 64 in a welcome return to form, joining a five-way tie for the lead.
Six-time major winner Rory McIlroy regained form to share the BMW Championship lead on Thursday, marking a welcome turnaround after his 66th-place finish at the St Jude Championship in Memphis the previous week. The Northern Irishman fired a six-under par 64 at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Missouri, joining a five-way tie with fellow US Open champions Gary Woodland, Wyndham Clark, JJ Spaun, and Chris Gotterup.
World No 1 Scottie Scheffler, who dominated in Memphis, struggled with five bogeys and a two-over par 72, finishing tied for 44th. McIlroy, who secured a second Masters title in April, praised his performance, saying it aligns with his preferred course style. He highlighted specific holes where he excelled, including birdies at the 17th and 18th.
Despite the strong showing, the Northern Ireland star acknowledged that there's still work to be done in refining his game and swing.
